Selena: Todays lunch is butter, pixie sticks, and captain crunch cereal sandwiches. Or for the brains, there's soup in a thermos, and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with the crust cut off. Or for the jocks, there's LOTS of sandwiches and apples and bananas and chips. And if you're a princess, you probably brought sushi. (play Weird Al up to 10 seconds, "open up your mouth and feed it.")
